John Muir was born in Dunbar in 1838. At the age of eleven he travelled, with his family, to America, where they set up a home at Fountain Lake, Wisconsin. His life is beautifully summed up in this memorial to him, found at Fountain Lake's John Muir Memorial Park. "He came to America as a lad of eleven, spent his 'teen years in hard work clearing the farm across this lake, carving out a home in the wilderness. In the 'sunny woods, overlooking a lake rimmed with water lilies', he found an environment that fanned the fire of his zeal and love for all nature, which, as a man, drove him to study, afoot, alone and unafraid, the forests, mountains and glaciers of the west, to become the most rugged, fervent naturalist America has produced and the father of the National Parks of our country." John Muir was a prolific writer. His quotations are as relevant today as they were when he wrote them. Here are some that may offer inspiration as you set out to achieve the John Muir Award.

Earliest known photograph of Dunbar Castle When I was a boy in Scotland I was fond of everything that was wild ... I loved to wander in the fields to hear the birds sing, and along the shore to gaze and wonder at the shells and the seaweeds, eels and crabs in the pools when the tide was low; and best of all to watch the waves in awful storms thundering on the black headlands and craggy ruins of old Dunbar Castle. John Muir 1838 - 1914 Statue depicting John Muir as a boy John Muir was born in Dunbar on April 21st 1838. As a child he developed a deep love of the natural world around his home. In 1849 the Muir family emigrated to the United States, and began the hard work of making a farm. Self-taught, John won a place at university and began to explore the wilderness areas of America. Through his writing and the force of his personality he won support for his ideas of conserving wild places for their own sake. He helped found the Sierra Club in 1892 to campaign for the preservation of natural environments. His legacy lives on in the National Parks of the world and in the greater awareness of the importance of wild places.

[home] Foreword Introduction to the Walk About Dunbar's John Muir Association When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with the other stars, all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty. Dunbar is the birthplace of John Muir (1838 - 1914); inventor, naturalist, explorer, mountaineer, farmer, geologist, writer, he was above all a pioneer of nature conservation. John Muir emigrated to Wisconsin in the United States of America at the age of eleven. He settled in California in his mature years, after a period of travel and exploration. There he played a crucial role in creating Yosemite National Park. He fought to save the Giant Redwood trees of California and the forests and alpine meadows of the Sierra Nevada from foresters and graziers. He was a founder of the Sierra Club in 1892 and the first President. Now it is the premier conservation body in California. From this position, his writing challenged Establishment figures of the United States to act positively in the emergent conservation debate of the late nineteenth century. One of his greatest achievements was to convert President Theodore Roosevelt to the idea of creating National Parks - the first such system in the world. But for all his contact with the great and the powerful, Muir never lost touch with the common man and with children - the future inheritors of his beloved wilderness. As a result of his lifelong struggle on behalf of wild places and wildlife, Americans honour Muir as 'The Father of Our National Parks'. For many millions of Californians, John Muir is regarded in the same light as Abraham Lincoln or Andrew Carnegie, and his writings are as celebrated as those of Robert Burns or Robert Louis Stevenson. Yet in Britain he is largely unknown and even in the land of his birth few Scots have heard of him.

MUIR'S TRAVELS -MUIR'S LEGACY- Haines, Alaska's John Muir Association JOHN MUIR (1838 - 1914) JOHN MUIR was a naturalist. He loved to "go to wild places" go experience the wonders of nature. Alaska, like Yosemite in California, was one of Muir's favorite places. Alaska is where Muir came to visit real wilderness after Yosemite became popular. Inspired by memories of his boyhood home in Dunbar, Scotland, his experiences in his adopted home of North America, and his extensive travels in Africa, Alaska, Australia, Canada, China, Japan, India, Central and South America, Russia and New Zealand, John Muir ultimately became the archetypal global citizen and a man for all ages. His writings enshrine him with the great 19th Century Transcendentalist philosophers of America, Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Walt Whitman. As adventurer, explorer, scientist, author, and finally charasmatic and visionary activist, Muir Fathered the modern National Parks and Conservation Movements the monumental legacy of a uniquely sensitive spirit and towering genius. The generations that follow must attend to his words and deeds which may be the salvation of the planet. ©'99 HJMA Welcome to the land that JOHN MUIR "DISCOVERED" the Crown Jewel in his legacy as Father of the Modern National Parks and Conservation Movements the largest and finest U.N.

Quotations from the Works of John Muir The most influential American conservationist. C limb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. W hen we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe. E verybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike. L A nother glorious Sierra day in which one seems to be dissolved and absorbed and sent pulsing onward we know not where. Life seems neither long nor short, and we take no more heed to save time or make haste than do the trees and stars. This is true freedom, a good practical sort of immortality. T his grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on seas and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls. W ho publishes the sheet-music of the winds or the music of water written in river-lines?

John Muir, 1838 - 1914 John Muir was a botanist, mountaineer, glaciologist, ecologist, naturalist, and conservationist whose views were closely aligned with American Transcendentalism . Influenced heavily by the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau , he shared their regard for the unity, order, and harmony of nature, their trust in nature's power to illuminate the higher laws of the mind, and their pantheistic approach to imagination and transcendence. Although their ideas were by no means the same as his, Muir devotedly carried and marked copies of Emerson's and Thoreau's works on his hikes and climbs in the Sierra Nevada and elsewhere in the west. In May 1871, Emerson visited Muir at Yosemite in California and the pair quickly became friends. Emerson admiringly listed him in his journal along with Thomas Carlyle , Thoreau, and several others, among those he called "My men."
